A Splash Of Spirit Arms flail wildly and jubilant cheers resound throughout the crowded football stadium. It is halftime at Mar- ian field, the Indians are beating the Hammond Wildcats, and the seniors, as usual, have won spirit week. It is the end of a week of pure excitement. The festivities started on Monday, when the entire student body dressed as its favorite ghost or spirit. On Tues- day, the juniors showed their spirit by coming to school as flappers, bums, and Little Rascals as they took them- selves back in time to the 1920 ' s. On Wednesday, it was the sophomores ' turn. They chose Rock of Ages for their theme, and decorated their hall with music posters, records, and even a life-sized model of Elvis Presley. The next class to strut its spirit was the freshman. They chose Disneyland, proceeding to dress as Mickey, Don- ald, Pluto and many other Disney fa- vorites. Allison Anderson, a senior, later commented, ' The freshman had a really good theme, and did really well for their first year. Culminating the week, the seniors had a chance to show the underclass- men what spirit is all about. The se- niors came as Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and even yellow bricks, and transformed their hall to the enchanted fantasy land of Oz, which earned them victory in spirit week. To add to the excitement of the week, that night, the Indians routed the Hammond Wildcats in a stunning 54-6 victory, and John Seckinger and Maureen Sweeney were crowned king and queen of the homecoming court. It was a week of tradition, it was a week of competition, of joy, of laugh- ter, and of fun. It is perhaps St. Joe ' s greatest tradition. Billy Jones, a mem- ber of the homecoming court, best summed up the week when he said, This week, especially homecoming night, was by far one of the best of my high school years. Nothing can match it. Members of the 1986 Homecoming Court in- clude: D. Bowles, J. Chapman, C. Perry, M. DobshI, A. Qerber, B. Jones, M. Sweeney, J. Seckinger, R. Siade, M. Joubert, M. Anzeic, and T. nirschler. These are the moments high school memories are made of. Maureen Sweeney and John Seck- inger show their radiant happiness after they were crowned homecoming king and queen.
